Add guest to list from task (or allow single-task assignments)
LBell
Sometimes I need to add someone to a task who isn't already assigned to a list or space.
Right now, it looks like to do this, I have to leave the task, add them to the list, then go back to the task to assign them.
Can we have it so when I can add any member/guest to a task, and if they're not assigned to a list, it will say "hey, this will invite them to this list, is that ok?" or some such.
Or, even better, allow us to just assign a user to that task, even if they don't have permission to access the entire list. Maybe with a warning that says "this user doesn't have access to the full list"

This use case, and specially the one explained in the latest paragraph, would be ideal.
We have a Roadmap where we plan, production-wise, which tasks have to be done, and with different amounts of anticipation, we assign the tasks to different members of the team as their starting dates approach.
We don't need (and most of the times, don't want to) give all team members access and context to all of our production timelines, but we want to be able to quickly assign and reassign tasks, be it the ones they may need to start doing tomorrow, or the ones we may want to plan for them to start working on in three months time. For us it is very important to have Producers that can allocate resources and map entire production roadmaps, and create and delete tasks, features and Epics with certain freedom and agility, but also limit users so that they can see, edit and work on the tasks they are assigned to without them being able to edit (and specially, delete), their parent tasks/features/epics, or see other features and epics within the same List/Roadmap which may even be a responsibility of an entirely different department.
Being able to have a List with a specific set of permissions that allows Producers and Product owners have access to the whole production context, but also the capability of assigning tasks to workers without having to share those tasks individually and manually with them would be a nice addition to the permissions management of ClickUp.
